    Abstract: An accessory communication control protocol can facilitate faster and more secure transmission of status updates from an accessory to a controller (or network base station). An accessory can register with a controller, where the controller can provide some subscription and key generation information to the accessory. The accessory can detect changes to characteristics of the accessory and generate a broadcast notification that includes updates to the state of the characteristic. The broadcast notification can also include a counter, a device identifier, and a key. According to timing or rules, the accessory can transmit the broadcast notification to the controller without the need to establish a secure session with the controller.

    Abstract: Controllers can be used to control the operation of various accessories. Controllers with access to a particular accessory (or group of accessories) can be organized into a controller network to facilitate control. The controller network can include various proxy devices including bridge and tunnel proxies that can relay messages to and from accessories, perform protocol translations, and/or provide communication security. Some proxy devices can include decision logic to enable coordinated control over one or more accessories by the controllers in the controller network.

    Abstract translation: 控制器可用于控制各种配件的运行。 可以将访问特定附件(或一组附件)的控制器组织到控制器网络中以便于控制。 控制器网络可以包括各种代理设备,包括桥接和隧道代理,其可以向附件中传递消息,以及从附件转发消息,执行协议转换和/或提供通信安全性。 一些代理设备可以包括决策逻辑,以便能够通过控制器网络中的控制器对一个或多个附件进行协调控制。
